Apart from the obvious like Walmsley, are there any British props worth splurging on? While the cap is an issue, transfer fees might have to be considered to short-cut the rebuild process a bit. GH did lay out big money for young Iestyn once upon a time....

I've been wondering this. Surely we can splash some cash on a transfer fee or two

If Cooper is leaving the Wire as been suggested he might be worth a look. Youth or prime wise nothing comes to the top of my head, maybe Sutton wants to come back to England?

It’s a shame trout was included in the Leeming deal because he’s turned out alright.

I'm not sure we can turnover as was considerably down during the pandemic plus funding a new stand.

put austin in 2nd row ,get rid of martin get big prop

Why on earth do you think Austin could play second row and then you want to get rid of our goal kicker plus arguably our best player this season..I reckon we could sign two props from the releases of Thompson,Briscoe,Mellor ,Broadbent and Dwyer .

He’s signing for Wigan

Wonder if they might approach Ryan Sutton at the Raiders. Not spectacular but very solid with lots of experience. Maybe combine something like that with an impact prop from the Queensland Cup/NRL and you'd have six useful props to rotate.

Oledzki
Prior (should be leaving)
Tetevano (should be leaving)
Holroyd
New Prop 1
New Prop 2

We need a minimum of 2 new props at the end of this season, and 2 more at the end of next.

How’s Tetevano leaving when he’s got another year on mega bucks?

That’s the point of saying should…
